Cooper Flagg is the favorite to be the No. 1 pick in the draft, and the former Duke forward recently earned high praise from one ESPN analyst.

Presumptive No. 1 overall pick Cooper Flagg interviewed with the Celtics last week at the NBA Draft combine, an unexpected interaction between the former Duke star and Brad Stevens, Boston's president of basketball operations.

The Boston Celtics will be active in the next few months to get under the second tax apron with Jayson Tatum set to miss most of the 2025-26 season after his Achilles tear against the New York Knicks in the NBA Playoffs.

Following the NBA draft lottery, the buzz surrounding Cooper Flagg's potential arrival in the league has reached fever pitch.

Demarcus "Boogie" Cousins offered his take on who should be selected with the first pick in the 2025 NBA Draft, and it was surprisingly not Cooper Flagg.

The Celtics even met with Flagg at last week’s NBA Draft Combine, according to Yahoo! Sports’s Kevin O’Connor. Flagg meet with several teams, including the the Celtics and the meeting was set up before the Draft Lottery on May 12, NJ Advance Media has learned.

While Dallas has said that they do plan on keeping the pick and selecting Flagg first overall, former NBA player DeMarcus Cousins believes that they should instead trade the pick to the Phoenix Suns for Kevin Durant for one major reason.
